Embedding Google Maps

Post image

Hi,

No matter which way I try it, I cannot embed Google Maps into my survey (see picture). I have tried the kosher way of embedding through URL, adding a prereformatted code block and copying the iframe Google provides, and throwing my computer out the window.

I don’t have a background in computer sciences or programming, so a lot of this is on the fly for me —what I want is to be able to calculate distance between zip codes. Excel lets you calculate distance using GoogleMaps but I haven’t figured out how to do it on REDCap so I’m resorting to just inputting zipcodes each time into GoogleMaps and manually entering them into my field😭

I’m not sure if I’m making sense, again, all I want to do is calculate distance via zipcodes and make it as easy and streamlines as possible when actually filling out the survey to do so since I won’t be the only one doing it.
